This Monday, October 23, and for several days, the video of a Tahitian surfer has gone viral on social networks. Matahi Drollet has been mobilizing for several months against the construction of a new judges’ tower for the surfing events of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games which will take place in Tahiti, on the legendary Teahupo’o wave. According to him, the construction could “destroy the reef” And “make our wave disappear”.
It is also in this context that the new criticized biodiversity lottery, “Mission Nature”, was launched on Monday, a scratch ticket for 3 euros. For France Nature Environnement, this new game will however have only a small impact since only 43 euro cents per ticket will be donated to the French Biodiversity Office. The national gaming regulatory authority is concerned about the risks of addiction for young people sensitive to environmental themes.
And then the Élysée announced on Sunday evening that President Emmanuel Macron will visit Israel on Tuesday. Dozens of Hamas terrorists died overnight from Sunday to Monday, according to the Israeli army, which carried out numerous air raids on the Gaza Strip. Humanitarian aid must now take a new step and arrive in a “continuous flow” while only 35 trucks arrived this weekend.
